Description :

Asia accounts for more than half of global energy consumption. 85% of Asia’s energy consumption comes from fossil fuels, with energy demand expected to at least double by 2030. We have nearly universal government commitments to reach net zero, but they are not yet enough to deliver net zero by 2050. The success of the global net zero transition will largely be determined by Asia’s net zero path.

How can Asia simultaneously decarbonise and energise while maintaining reliable and affordable energy for its economic development? Trillions of dollars are required to finance the net-zero transition in the region but how do we source and ensure financially viable projects to attract the needed capital?

The urgency of the net-zero transition demands governments, businesses and investors to formulate a new energy paradigm in Asia while also maintaining resilient and secure energy systems. In this panel, we will discuss how companies and investors can navigate, drive and invent Asia’s energy transition.
